Dear X friends. It’s been too long. Most of you probably aren’t even on here any more. I’ve just started posting on Facebook again after an 18 month hiatus, but I’m not going to rehash it on here. If you would like to reconnect, please find me on Facebook. I’ve got massive plans

Cycled into work for the first time from Eastleigh. Got a bit of fire in the thigh muscles at some points. Tried not to use the battery much. Now I need to get access to the bike sheds - it’s a very expensive bike!
